Guest Raistlin_75 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 Hi guys, I tried installing openvpn for pocket PC on my Omnia found here. It seems that is unable to open a TAP/TUN driver and the connection towards my server. The configuration is the same that I'm using on my desktop. Are there known problems on this software on the Omnia? A co-worker of mine uses the same configuration on the HTC diamond and it works. Thank you.

Is the driver loading? If not, is your Omnia unbranded? Is the driver signed? (if yes, do you have the signing certificate added as trusted?). edit: I just downloaded thee package and yes, the driver is signed... Cheers (Ciao!!) Edited March 17, 2009 by BeamRider

The driver appears to be in order, without correct security clearance from the OS it doesn't load at all, but your log shows that it is trying to connect to the server ... Are you using GPRS / HSDPA, WiFi or ActiveSync (sharing)? Try different channels: seems just a (trivial) network problem. Try also using a telnet connection to port 1194 (using putty) to see if it connects. Check also if the port used is the same on your desktop: during openvpn development (some years ago) the default port changed. Ciao

An openvpn port Is not testable with putty, because it's a UDP one, but I assure you that the same conf file put on my pc works perfectly. B) Edited March 17, 2009 by Raistlin_75

B) Very weird, I don't know is there are issues with WM6.1/Omnia and UDP ... a good setup would be to install a OpenVPN server on your home pc and test it via LAN/WiFi. If you succed and find something please keep me (us) informed as I'm pretty interested in VPN and Omnia (I'm commited to another project right now, but I will perform some tests ASAP).

B) it was the line "proto=" that was a problem. I added it because that was on the sample.ovpn provided with the program. I removed it and now it works! I think there is a different implementation of that line between the classical openvpn and the pocketpc version.
